The Alekos Fassianos Museum is housed in a building remodelled and designed by architect Kyriakos Krokos in close collaboration with Alekos Fassianos. The building was completed in 1995. The Alekos Fassianos Museum opened to the public in 2023.

The curatorship of the exhibition aims to introduce the extent of Alekos Fassianos’ work. Works from 1956 until the end of the artist’s life are presented. The exhibition includes early works with an abstract mood from the 1960s and the early years in Paris. Works influenced by Byzantine art, collages, mixed media, widely recognizable paintings with Fassianos’ most characteristic writing. The Myth of his neighborhood unfolds through works that represent images and experiences he acquired in the neighborhood of St. Paul where he grew up and in his wanderings in Athens. Heroes of his childhood merged with the heroes of Greek mythology, creating the eternal hero that is man.
In addition to the paintings, the exhibition aims to highlight the artist’s multifaceted personality, presenting handmade objects, furniture and lighting as well as documents he wrote, books he illustrated and a rich archive of his involvement in set and costume design for Aristophanes’ comedies and Eugène Ionesco’s plays. The exhibition unfolds within a handcrafted architectural setting where every detail is curated by Fassianos, from the knobs on the doors, the handles on the cabinets, the nails on the mirrors and the frescoes and mosaic floors.

The Alekos Fassianos Museum has a remarkable importance for the contemporary artistic and architectural map of Athens as it is one of the few museums in the world where the collaboration between artist and architect supports the dialogue between the works and the place that houses them.
